It was the early hours of the morning when during a busy night shift a call came over Katy Evans' police radio saying a woman was in distress in the sea.
Together with colleague PC Ian Chattun, they immediately went to Aberystwyth's North Beach. The woman, who had a recent history of self harm, had already been in the water but had been pulled out and was sitting on the sea's edge. It was a stormy night and it was pitch black and the sea was very rough.
As they approached, it was clear she was in considerable distress and Sergeant Evans, now DS Evans, said it was clear it was a dangerous situation.
